Since March 11, the entire world has stood aghast at the destruction and devastation from the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that continues to overwhelm Japan and its people. Through the fog of chaos and crisis comes love and light as communities across the globe come together to help Japan. Last night in New York City at Milk Studios, that light shined bright through a group show fundraiser, JAPAN: RISING.
Emanated deep from the heart of Japanese-American Mayumi Tatsuta, JAPAN: RISING is without a doubt a project of pure love. Fortunately her family in Japan has managed to remain unharmed but her homeland still has a long road of recovery ahead. Mayumi partnered with friends Ben Pruess and Erik Lavoie to concept and develop the silent art auction to aid in this recovery. Their efforts gave way to Mayumi and Ben creating A Good Gathering, a charitable events production company and platform for the event.
